Hiking St. George's Trail (Trail 503)

St. George's Trail, marked on maps as Trail 503, has two ends: one at the Indian Painted Rocks trailhead and another along the West St. George's School Road/Rural Route 5. The Indian Painted Rocks trailhead has more parking as well as a vault toilet.

The trail travels mostly through the Little Spokane Natural Area, with a small segment going through St. George's School property. The trail is great for hikers and trail runners, as it takes folks through the forest, alongside wildflowers and offers nice views of the surrounding area with some elevation gain.

WTA has worked along this trail, helping restore tread and remove debris.

Getting There

The recommended starting point for this hike is the Indian Painted Rocks trailhead; the actual start of the trail is slightly south of the parking lot along West Rutter Parkway, just across the Little Spokane River.

From I-90, take the Maple Street exit 280. Drive north on Maple/Walnut Street for 4.4 miles. Turn left on Francis Street and continue for 1.1 miles. Bear right onto Indian Trail Road and continue for 4.8 miles. Indian Trail will become West Rutter Parkway. Follow for another 0.7 mile; the parking area will be on the left.
